CONGRESS OF THE
COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
​

---

A BILL TO
ALLOW MAYORS TO CLASSIFY MATERIALS​

---

The people of the Commonwealth of Redmont, through their elected Representatives in the Congress and the force of law ordained to that Congress by the people through the constitution, do hereby enact the following provisions into law:​

PART I: PRELIMINARIES

1. Short Title and Enactment
(1) This Act may be cited as the "Town Classification Act" or "TCA".
(2) This Act shall be enacted 3 days after its signage, to allow preparation by both the Executive and the Towns,
(3) This Act has been authored by Senator HatManMC.
(4) This Act has been sponsored by Representative asdertplays.
(5) This Act has been cosponsored by Senate President HatManMC and Senator EmeraldGuuy.
(6) This Act amends the following acts:
(a) Classified Materials Act

2. Reasons and Intent
(1) As the Classified Materials Act currently stands, Mayors are not allowed to be Primary Classification Officers, and thus everything internally is forced to be the PUBLIC classification.
(2) In the search for town rights, this is one of the easiest things we can grant to Towns. The Federal Reserve Board has the privilege to classify internal discussion. Towns should be granted this privilege too.
(3) Because of this, this Act serves to allow Mayors to classify materials.
